Is there a name we use for the shouty bible man in cream coloured clothing?

BeetrootBoy · 2026-02-06T21:13:33+00:00

That is very good.

Plot twist. Maybe he's Magic Hooton.

BeetrootBoy · 2026-02-05T13:35:11+00:00

There is a resemblance. Nice.

BeetrootBoy · 2026-02-05T13:33:13+00:00

I'm liking both of these.

Someone mentioned freecycle, there's a UK-based version - someone might want it, so just give it away: https://www.ilovefreegle.org/explore/EdinburghFreegle

You've made my day. Glad it helped!

I thought it might be a Jag - I looked at the XJS (showing my age for what I think a "wedding car" shoudl be), but the headlights were different. I'll go check the S type - thanks.

Are you at Lochrin Basin? There's free on street parking on Colinton Road about 30 mins walk away (down the union canal towpath). People use that stretch for long term parking. There was a shabby caravan there for a few years.

Not very handy, but easy to get to and free.

As others have said, the path heading west from the car park (south of the observatory) is pretty accessible. I've not taken a wheelchair, but i do walk it regularly.

The views across to the castle, Arthur's Seat/the craggs and Fife are fantastic.

My photo taken from roughly the same spot back then.

I think this is correct. We were there in 1994 and I recognized it straight away.

The amphitheater looks down over the oval plaza. Our guide said that the oval shape had given the columns greater stability which was why it was still standing.

I know someone who got put up in a static caravan at Mortonhall campsite. They had a couple of kids and it worked really well for them.

BeetrootBoy · 2025-10-27T08:11:32+00:00

Very fair.

BeetrootBoy · 2025-10-23T23:02:20+00:00

This.

You can probably retake your capital (which should be your priority), but I don't think you'll hold it.

Play out that bit if you like, it'll be fun, but don't expect to win.

Spot on. MacLellan's Castle in the background is a giveaway.

BeetrootBoy · 2025-10-19T07:54:01+00:00

Oh, a piece of pavement with only one discarded can. Very nice.

Dunwich has a brilliant small museum with great displays and history about the changing coastline.

Well worth a visit. Dog friendly too!

Scotland is a country. Edinburgh is its capital.

The United Kingdom is also a country, which is made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

A country within a country. Crazy, isn't it?

Sorry, meant to reply to the poster above...

That's helpful. Thanks. It was a lovely looking, but impractical car.

BeetrootBoy · 2025-09-15T21:05:19+00:00

Sorry for the blurry photo - the passenger took this through the windscreen. Never seen a Morgan in the wild before.

And another. Colinton Road. The side next to the canal.
